Slow start

Much like the Detroit Tigers, I have been off to quite a slow start in the amount of writing that I have done.  It is the start of May and I barely have thirty posts.  I always have it set in my mind to aim for ten posts a month (120 each year).  Luckily I don't rely on this blog to make a living. 

Whenever I start to write, I try to make it worth while.  Constructing a post that I can be proud of.  There are going to be rant posts and pointless posts, but if they are few and far between, I feel like I can get away with it.  In my mind at least.  I don't have hundreds of people commenting on these posts, there aren't thousands of post views and that's okay.  I didn't start writing this for that.  I started this as a way to write.  To just get my thoughts out there. 

As far as subject matter, I looked at previous posts and I noticed a trend in sports topics.  It's one thing that I follow regularly and have strong thoughts and feelings about.  The problem is, is that I have never wanted to have just one subject or focus for this blog.  Writing about politics can be a touchy subject because most everyone has such a strong opinion on it that if you don't do enough research on what you are writing about, you can look like someone that doesn't know the subject you are writing about.  Even though I write mostly based on personal opinion, I always want to have an understanding (even if it is on a basic level) before getting going on writing. 

I haven't had any life altering events to write about.  Think buying a house, starting a new job, having kids.  The last thing was last fall when we moved from Kansas to Minnesota.  It provided subject fodder for a little bit, but didn't last long.  The subject that I'm closest to is buying a house and that is still far off in the future.  No one wants to rent for the rest of their lives, but I don't want to go into so much debt that I can't afford to do anything other than work.  I randomly look at houses around the Twin Cities to get a feeling for what is out there, but know that it is still years away from happening *sad sigh*. 

I will fumble my way through this writing drought and continue to focus on getting that one hundred and twenty posts for the year.  Even if I have to write filler posts like this one.
